The Independent Custody Visiting Scheme

Who are Independent Custody Visitors? (ICVs)

Independent custody visitors are members of the local community who visit custody
centres unannounced to check on the welfare of people in police custody. They come
from a variety of backgrounds and sections of the community and they must be over
18 years old, live or work in the area of Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly and
have been resident in the UK for the past three years prior to application.
To maintain the independence of the scheme, serving police officers and staff
and members of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Special
Constables, Lay Justices and Members of the Police and Crime Panel cannot be
independent custody visitors. Applicants must demonstrate their independence
from any working relationships with the police.

The role of an Independent Custody Visitor

To observe, comment and report on...
•   The rights of the detainee;
•   The health and welfare of the detainee;
•   Conditions of the facilities of detention.

Why would you want to become an Independent Custody Visitor?

This is your chance to offer protection to both detainees and the police, and
reassurance to the community at large and gain an insight into the criminal justice
system by checking on the treatment of people in police custody, the conditions in
which they are held, and that their rights and entitlements are being observed.
Visiting a custody centre can take between half an hour to two and a half hours twice
a month. The duration will depend upon the number of detained persons to be seen,
and the need to complete necessary checks during the visit. Independent custody
visitors always visit in pairs and decide themselves when the visit is made in
accordance with the requirements of the scheme.

Custody centres include Exeter, Torquay, Plymouth, Barnstaple, Newquay and
Camborne. ICVs generally visit their two closest stations. Arrangements for visits to
the Isles of Scilly are separate.

The Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE)
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/60/contents is a major reference for
independent custody visitors as well as equality, diversity and human rights
legislation. Full training will be provided, and initial visits during your probation will be
alongside experienced visitors. A review of your probation will be made when you
are ready, generally in the first six months, but this depends upon your progress and
the opportunity you have had to experience a wide range of visit situations. Further

ICV_APPLICATION PACK_300920
related training is provided to increase understanding of the diverse and challenging
circumstances that arise in this voluntary position.

ICV_APPLICATION PACK_300920
How are Independent Custody Visitors selected and trained?

After you have read through this information, and wish to continue with the
recruitment process, you can complete and return the application form in this
application pack.
If you are shortlisted, you will be asked to attend an informal interview. You will need
to demonstrate:
•   An understanding of the role of an Independent Custody Visitor
•   Commitment to the role
•   Respect for and understanding of equality, diversity and human rights
•   Excellent communication skills
•   Impartiality

If you are successful at informal interview, you will be sent a vetting form to complete
and return. This is for us to carry out the relevant security checks. Upon successful
vetting checks you will be issued with an official identity card which you must use
when visiting. If your personal or financial circumstances change during your
appointment, you must notify the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, as
you may need to complete another vetting check.
Following clearance at the vetting stage, we will arrange a familiarisation visit to a
local custody suite. You will also be invited to attend an induction day, organised by
the scheme co-ordinator.
Further training will take place during your time as an independent custody visitor
including mandatory equality, diversity and human rights training, which will include
information regarding the General Duty on Public Sector organisations and the
Human Rights Act of 1998 .

ICV_APPLICATION PACK_300920
When and where are visits made?
Custody centres should be visited ideally once a week, in accordance with the ICV
rota. An ICV will be expected to undertake at least two visits per month. Visits can be
at any time of the day or night and they can take anything from 30 minutes to two
hours depending on how many detainees wish to be seen and how busy the centre
is. It is the responsibility of the volunteer, in consultation with their visiting partner, to
arrange a mutually convenient time to undertake a visit. The visits should be random
and unannounced but should ideally aim to ensure that a visit takes place over a
wide selection of days and times throughout the month.

What happens when Independent Custody Visitors make a visit?
ICVs must maintain their independence and impartiality. They do not take sides but
look, listen and report accurately on what they find in the custody centres. On arrival
at the police station, the ICVs will be escorted to the custody centre. The detainees
will be identified by their custody numbers only and strict rules of confidentiality
apply.

Conversation with detainees will focus on whether they have been offered their rights
and entitlements under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. Interviews with
detainees are, for the ICV’s protection, normally carried out within sight, but out of
hearing of the escorting officer. Immediate areas of concern will be raised by ICVs
with the custody officer, at the time of the visit and any necessary action taken.

Reporting procedures

ICV_APPLICATION PACK_300920
A straightforward report is completed after each visit. It provides an insight into the
running of the custody centre at the time of the visit. Copies of the reports are
provided for the police and Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Visit reports provide a vital source of information on the environmental and welfare
conditions in which detainees are held. The information is analysed and the areas for
action highlighted. Any issue not resolved or unable to be resolved at the time of the
visit will be carried forward at this stage.

Other duties
ICVs must treat the details of what they see and hear on their visit as confidential.
They are expected to report in general terms to the OPCC at appropriate times. ICVs
must also attend volunteer meetings, which provide an opportunity to resolve
outstanding issues, share experience and best practice. These meetings will be held
quarterly, usually on a Saturday. They are also required to attend training as and
when required to maintain their understanding of current practices.

Police dog welfare
ICVs are also given the opportunity to join the police dog welfare scheme. The
purpose of this scheme is to provide an independent observation and to comment
and report on conditions under which dogs are housed, trained and transported with
a view to securing greater public understanding and confidence in these matters. It
also provides an independent check on the way police dog handlers carry out their
responsibilities regarding the welfare of animals in their care.

Eligibility and Guidance

Before you proceed with your application, please check that you meet all essential
criteria as set out in the Role Specification on page 14

Criminal histories
Once a candidate is selected for appointment after the informal talk stage, you will
be asked to complete a vetting form.
Where an applicant has one or more convictions for criminal offences, or has received
any formal caution, warning or reprimand, or has failed to disclose any such finding,
the specific circumstances must be considered in assessing suitability to become an
ICV. However, past offences are not an automatic barrier to acceptance. Therefore,
convictions or cautions will not necessarily preclude a candidate from an appointment.
Your appointment will be confirmed subject to passing the vetting process.

Financial position
A volunteer with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner may be able to
access or hear potentially sensitive or personal information. Such information could
potentially make a volunteer vulnerable to corruption. Applicants should not therefore
be under pressure from un-discharged debts or liabilities and should be able to
manage loans and debts sensibly. However, most applicants have debts, such as
mortgages, un-discharged students or other loans, and credit/store card debts.
Arrears in any outstanding debts must be given, including IVAs (individual Voluntary
agreements/arrangements), arrangements with financial institutions’ or others to
whom monies are owed.

Nationality
To be eligible for appointment you must be a British Citizen or a member of the EC or
other states in the EEA. Commonwealth citizens and foreign nationals are also eligible
but only if they are resident in the UK free of restrictions. If you are a commonwealth
citizen or a foreign national, you must provide proof that you have no restrictions on
your stay in the UK. If invited to an informal talk, you will be asked to produce your
original passport, and if you are a non-UK national it must show that your stay is free
of restrictions. Please DO NOT send your actual passport with this application. Other
documentary evidence of your status may be required.

Membership of British National Party or similar
The Police and Crime Commissioner has a policy of prohibiting any of their officers,
volunteers and staff from becoming members of the BNP or similar organisations
whose aims, objectives or pronouncements may contradict the duty to promote race
equality. If you are, or have been, a member of the BNP or similar, your application
may be rejected.

Ineligible occupations and activities

ICV_APPLICATION PACK_300920
You cannot be considered for appointment as a volunteer if there were a significant
chance that this could lead to a conflict of interest, either for yourself or for others,
between the obligations as an independent custody visitor and your effectiveness in
your professional life or any other voluntary role being undertaken. It is important to
minimise the risk that independent custody visitors might be pressed to abuse their
position within the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

For this reason, an application may be refused if it is believed that a conflict could take
place.

Data protection
The personal information you provide in this application form will be processed in
accordance with current data protection legislation for the purposes of assessing your
suitability for the role. Further information can be found by clicking here

       before completing it.
   •   The Person Specification includes elements that will be considered during the
       shortlisting process. In these cases, the word Application is in bold, so please
       consider this when you complete Section 2 of the application – your Personal
       Statement.
   •   Do a rough draft first. It helps avoid mistakes and ensures your application is
       organised and impactive.
   •   After completing a draft, leave it for a while and then look at it again. This can
       often highlight an alternative or better approach.
   •   Also, ask someone else to read your draft. They may notice spelling mistakes
       or areas you might have missed, no matter how often you have checked it.
   •   Keep a copy of the completed form as if you are called for the next stage in
       the selection process you will find it useful.
